With the Oscars fresh in mind, and me being a movie buff, I was just wondering what everyone's favorite movie is... with a twist. What's your favorite movie from your year of birth? Or movies?

You can choose just one... oh, no, that's too difficult, right? I've decided to go for three, but it's up to you. Try limit yourself, but please, post some of the favorite movies that came out the same year as you yourself... erm, came out.

I was born in 1986, and I've decided to go for my three personal favorites from that year:

1) Platoon
A very powerful war drama about the war in Vietnam and the loss of innocence. Charlie Sheen has never been better, and Willem Dafoe and Tom Beregner are perfect as the two fathers fighting for the right of his soul.

2) Blue Velvet
David Lynch is quite the filmmaker. This suburb nightmare is yet another original from him, with a blue-eyed Kyle MacLachlan being mixed into a dark, strange world he can't understand. Dennis Hopper steals the show as one of the craziest movie villains of all time.

3) Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Every boy's dream! One day away from school, no rules (except those you make for yourself), just fun, fun, fun. Jeffrey Jones is such a creepy guy in this movie, (and it seems not all was acting), and mr. Broderick has never been more inspiring nor charming. Also, Jennifer Grey was HOT!

Ha, I don't know exactly what this says about me (other than I'm old) but one of my all-time favorite movies is from 1981- Body Heat. Love this movie so much. Actually, I think I'm going to go watch it again...

Love Ferris Bueller's Day Off! Every time I go to the Art Institute, I always re-enact this scene.

Body Heat: where the brilliant Mickey Rourke for the first time get the chance to steal every scene he's in

Okay, i guess that's a bit of an exaggeration. I'd pick a James Dean film, since his short life ended in 1955 (the year of my birth). Both East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause are listed as 1955, while Giant is listed for 1956 even though JD's work was already in the can long before.
